point in the middle states and New England

represented Union No 13, of Boston, in the
council of the International, and was chosen
secretary of the latter; he was also active LIZ

Boston, his experience in various cities max

of Labor began to organize he took very
active part. and was charter member of their
first assembly in Boston. He belongs to other
charitable and benevolent organizations,
chiefly such as have relation to the rights and

Mr.. Elder took great interest in the CO
operative principle at an early age, and has
advocated its adoption in every practicable
case. He assisted the Hon. Josiah Quincy In
securing the Massachusetts, laws favoring CO.
operation, and at once proceeded to assist in
the establishment of cooperative banks. He
was president of one, vice president OF an
other and is now director in three co-opera-
tive banks in successful operation IN this city.
He next turned his attention to cooperative
building associations, and has been lnstru-
mental in the erection OF many houses upon
that plan But his well known tenacity of
purpose is best illustrated by his success in
the insurance branch of the Typographical
union, of which he may be called the creator.
At first view his scheme was pronounced
chimerical; but he worked on against ali man.
ner of Encouragement till he has made the
branch success. Socially Mr.. Elder is a
pleasant companion, rather reserved and un-
obtrusive; but as a debater ON labor themes
he is quite fluent and a very interesting
speaker. For fifteen years he has worked ON
The Boston Herald, and is highly esteemed
by employers and associates.
This sketch is the more interesting at this
time because his plan is being introduced so
rapidly into New York, where, within one
year, some 900 certificates OF insurance have
been issued. Printers are such a generous
set as a rule that cooperation and mutual in
surance are valuable to them more than
almost any other class. Amy one of them
will readily contribute his twenty-five or fifty
cents for the family of deceased member Of
the craft, and when this systematic method
is presented in their local unions it will cer-
tainly be generally adopted.

an eclipse great waves have been seen to
arise on its surface, and immense fiery
arms shoot out for tens of thousands of miles.
That the changes on the suns surface CORE

conceded; but more observation is necessary
to determine the causes. To this end
the principal nations have located well

CINCINNATI, Aug. 16.-When Andrew Err
kenbrecher died here two or three years age, he
was the largest manufacturer of starch in the
world. He left great fortune, and mag.
niicent monument marks his resting place.
But his memory will be perpetuated far better
by his work for the Geological garden than
by any pile of granite. Born in Bavaria and
educated when boy in fine school in Ger
many, he had strong leaning toward natu-
raj history, and that led him when he had be-
come man of large means to found one of
the best object lessons in natural history that
America possesses. The real start Of
Cincinnati's Geological garden was in
1868, when the Cincinnati Accimatization
society was organized for the purpose of
introducing foreign birds into America The
first building they put up was small cage,
about eight by twelve feet and ten high, in
which the importations were kept for time
